“Just had the BBQ pork belly . Everything fresh and quality of the sandwich is outstanding, served with smiles. Lovely spot for delicious Banh mi (baguette with choice of meat and toppings) for a meal. Plus they have delicious Butterfly sunset tea,Black milk tea, Thai tea and fresh smoothies … All my favorite“
“I have a soy allergy so generally have to stay away from Vietnamese (and most other Asian) cuisine sadly, but Vinason has soy-free options that were amazing!!! We ordered the bahn mi and pho ??. The food came out super fast, and the place is so pretty and cleanly! Will definitely come back & highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Soy-free options (as well as other allergens) on website!“
“We were there for lunch, we ordered large sized seafood pho, fillet mignon and salmon rolls. We liked all of them especially salmon rolls. Fillet mignon pho has very good quality, thinly sliced beef and seafood pho doesn't have many seafood as expected but was tasty. Salmon rolls win our hearts. We will definitely be going back there for pho and especially for salmon rolls.Parking: Easy free parking, we were lucky to get a spot just in front of the restaurant.“
“went there with 4 friends, was very fun! food was surprisingly good (friends who have had pho in other places recently thought this was actually better!), though too salty for my taste (had to get some to go since I couldn't finish it)Vegetarian options: there is versions of their pho without meat, the tofu is very good! wish there was more in each serving thoughDietary restrictions: very high in salt, but other than that it should be goodParking: not much space since it is a streetside location but there is parking lots with space nearby“
“Authentic pho restaurant. They take your order right away and the food comes out quickly. Great place for a quick lunch or dinner, we are usually in and out under 45 minutes. Located next to Sno-King Ice arena.Their serving sizes are on the smaller side but this is also reflected in their lower prices.“
“This is a small coffee shop attached to a creative space and has limited seating. Love the celebration of culture here. You will find a menu of Vietnamese coffee creations that aren't super common. We got the cà phê lá dúa (pandan condensed milk) hot. Pretty smooth, very light pandan flavor, and you still taste the dark, roasted coffee bean flavor. And they used this really cool Hermann cup design that hot drinks don't need a cup sleeve.“
“I have been here almost every single morning since I’ve tried this coffee place! I am totally addicted. I’m going to be bringing everyone I know here, it truly is the best and everyone who works here is so genuinely kind and helpful ❤️ also incredibly quick, quality service for the volume of people they can have! I am so happy to have found this place, I get the iced Salty Coffee please do yourself a favor and go here!!!“
“Absolutely love this place. Family owned, Banh Mi’s are great. Growing up in a Vietnamese household, we’d come up to Seattle from Olympia to get banh mi’s. Rise and shine is one of the restaurants that replicates that same taste I remember. Highly recommend.“
“3.5 Stars Trendy cafe with eclectic decor (fake plants, cartoons, selfie booth,Taylor Swift cardboard cutout (?) ). They did an incredible job on the branding (coolest logo ever)! The Banh Mih Dip ($15) was super tasty, thought it was priced a tad on the high side for the size. Unfortunately, that specific day I was also hoping it would be a healthier option than it was but ah well lol, gotta live. The description said it would have a slathering of pate (I love pate) but it really was more mayo heavy if anything (was the pate forgotten? hmm). It was delicious dipped in the broth (the soft crispy baguette soaks it up). Sort of reminded me of a cheesesteak. Really messy to eat. The brisket was on the fatty side, which I prefer - yum! BF got the chicken vermicelli bowl ($17) which he enjoyed. They are very busy, limited seating inside. Located in pioneer square. Order a the counter and the staff bring your order out with a smile :)“
“I visited this speakeasy on a Friday night with my husband on recommendation from friends. It is a very small place and mostly seatings are around the bar. Didn’t sound appealing to me but believe me it was fun! I would recommend going in small group of 2 or max 4. I don’t think they accept reservations but we got a table within 10 mins of putting our names. The drinks are amazing! Very flavorful and well made! I loved the dua dua coconut if you are a coffee fan you must try the ca phi tini! Cooling water is also refreshing. In terms of food, we had pho which is made in pho bac downstairs. We also had the tofu rolls and the broccoli cheese dip. My only critic is that the dip came in much later and we were full from the pho so couldn’t do justice with the dip. It was pretty cheesy and heavy. Overall fun time proof being I forgot to click pictures of the drinks ;)“
“Do yourself a favor — EAT AT LOTUS POND. (1) Carpool to Lotus Pond. The more the merrier. (2) Appetizers: You can’t lose. Everything is good. Me? I eat the Imperial Rolls. Get two orders of the egg rolls aka Imperial Rolls — one order won’t be enough for 2 people. Start there, you’ll be very happy. Also order the pork belly on the skewers please, No regrets. It’s very good. (3) Noodle Soups. Every bowl Is a winner. Pho is great, no question there. However, you absolutely must eat the SEAFOOD with special Red Noodle. (4) Early enough during the day, drink the Viet Ice Coffee. (5) Too bad they don’t have enough staff/hands to make the BANH CUON but they make up for it in many ways. Try everything on the menu. I’m not a relative. I don’t get money or fame for recommending Lotus Pond. I just know authentic good food when I see and eat it. Try it. You will leave with a full, joyous stomach … you will be very satisfied. Happy eating!“
“My partner chose Stateside for his birthday dinner, and it was all around an excellent experience! Ambiance is modern, clean, and not stuffy at all. You'd feel just as comfortable in athleisure as you would in dressy cocktail attire here. Staff was welcoming and extremely knowledgeable, and paced the meal perfectly. We started out with a cocktail each--I can't recall the names as their website cocktail menu does not match what we saw, but my partner had a mule with lime leaf and galangal that was absolutely spectacular. The lime leaf and galangal made my palate SING and it was hands down the best iteration of a mule we've ever had. Now the most important part: FOOD. CRISPY DUCK FRESH ROLLS | Y'all weren't playing, this was the GOAT, and by far our favorite dish. It was texturally perfect, and I do not throw that description around lightly. The crispness of the spring roll inside a fresh roll!? Absolutely genius. I will say that my Korean American palate registered the seasoning on this as just barely teetering on a tiny bit oversalted side (esp with the accompanying dipping sauce), but the texture was so divine that I really can't dock it. STICKY RICE DUMPLINGS | A deconstructed dumpling, really. The rice dumpling on its own would have been nothing to write home about, but the combination of everything (ethereally fluffy dungeness crab! earthy maitake! perfectly cooked taro!) with the broth made it all work so well, especially texturally. The broth was basically buttery liquid gold. MASTER STOCK CRISPY CHICKEN | This was perfectly good chicken, but I can't say it was that memorable as a whole. We ordered a side of the brussel sprouts which were delicious (again, texture was on point with the rice cracker pieces) as well as the ginger rice to go along with this, and I have to say the brussel sprouts were far more memorable. Superb texture really seemed to be the central theme of our dinner, so while I'd really recommend Stateside to everyone, I'd ESPECIALLY recommend it for those who have an extra appreciation for textural masterpieces.“
“10/9/2021 Recommend? Yes. I arrived right after they open with my luggage because I was starving from my long train ride in from Whitefish, MT. The server was super nice. He got me hot tea and banh cam to settle in with. I ordered bo bia (autumn rolls), vegan pho, and roasted pork banh mi (to go). The banh cam had a thick dough and it was huge. Two of those could've been a whole meal. Everything I ordered was delicious and they were so kind! My favorite was definitely the banh mi. It was even good after I had refridgerated it. The best part was the vegan butter and vegan pate. I absolutely loved it, best vegan banh mi I've had.“
“Randomly stopped in to meet friends. So beyond impressed. Everything was outstanding. The food, the service, the drinks, the atmosphere, and did I mention the service. John was by far the best bartender I have ever met. I mean that in all sincerity. Next time I’m in Seattle I’ll be stopping in !“
“SERVICE: immediately met by friendly hellos and warm greetings. very nice throughout the whole ordering process and extremely helpful. FOOD: to start i ordered a taro boba tea and my boyfriend ordered a wintermelon tea with rainbow jelly. both drinks were really good, and the rainbow jelly was super tasty. the taro boba always slaps. i ordered a chicken pho with mushrooms and tofu; the broth was good and super flavorful. my partner got tonkotsu ramen, he said the broth was very savory, the pork was fatty and delicious, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. he wanted it a little spicier so he added chili oil to the broth which he said made it amazing! AMBIANCE: its a very cozy atmosphere and is a perfect place for students to come and grab a quick bite. PRICE: reasonably priced for seattle food. LOCATION: amazing location for seattleu students, its on the corner of a busy street with a decent amount of foot traffic and is easy to get to. GENERAL OPNION: we love this place, and we have been going to this place since 2022, the food has always been superb and the boba is always amazing. its a go to spot that we recommend to everyone who visits the area.“
“I never leave reviews but I’ve become a weekly regular with what I like to call “pho Friday” and this place deserves a lot of love. I’ve tried a lot of pho places in Seattle but aside from this one being one of the few closest to me, it’s also the best. The owner is extremely sweet and welcoming and just has such a happy aura. The staff is also really nice and quickly learned my order after just a few visits. But in terms of food it really is my favorite; they give you a lot of meat and noodles, and the broth is probably the best broth I have had, it’s extremely flavorful!“
“Simple and easy service. The pho is real good, the broth is legit. The prices are good for Seattle area.Man, you can’t really make pho broth any better. They perfected the broth recipe. I’d eat here again.The parking is tight and seems a bit messy. The area is pretty ghetto but it is what it is.Parking: Free parking on site but very limited during busy hours.“
“The atmosphere is bright and cheerful. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is fantastic! I had the #1 pho noodle soup. The bowl is huge, and there was surprisingly alot of meat in the bowl. The broth! The broth was amazing and a perfect balance of flavors. Highly suggest eating here!“
“Forgot to take a pic because i devoured my bahn mi right away. First time here. - I got the cold cuts sandwich. Veggies were crispy and almost vinegary enough for my kraut taste buds :P the baguette was light and crunchy as it should be! I had never had a proper cold cuts + pate Bahn mi before but the pate, oh man!! Changed my standards. I also got a condensed milk coffee which was good and strong. Always nice to find a semi affordable and quick lunch spot near work. I also appreciate them being open at 11!“
“Best Banh Mi sandwich I have had in as long as I can remember. I only ran in to order, I didn’t dine in but the place is SUPER CUTE on the inside and the service I did experience was also equally amazing! 11/10 would eat again! (I ate my sandwich before I could take a picture of it)“
“Will always be in support of more pho shops opening up in Seattle! Stopped by for a quick lunch in the middle of a very cold day and immediately felt the warm embrace of that hot broth. Everything tasted super clean without compromising flavor, which is truly hard to find these days. Didn't expect to enjoy the pho so much because it's a relatively small and unassuming shop. But it is ran by the sweetest family who got my food out in less than 2 minutes. Definitely a great additional to this area of capitol hill. Would highly recommend.“
“We went for the first time and the owner was so kind and helpful. The KFC is superb and incredibly crunchy even after taking the leftovers home. The two dips we got on the side were house sauce and soy garlic. Both were great flavor contrasts. The pickled daikon really helped cut the fat. The decorations were very modern. I appreciated the decoration. It was nice icing on the cake but the food and the owners genuinity are what really makes this place a top notch restaurant. She should be super proud of what she's done.“
“For over 15 years, this has been my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. They offer so many delicious dishes, tucked away in a parking lot, you wouldn't expect much from this place. However, as soon as you step inside, it feels like a little oasis. Even though I don't live in Seattle anymore, I still dream about their dishes.“
“Very friendly, lots of vegan and vegetarian options for bahn no, main dishes, noodles, desserts, drinks, and package snacks. Also happy to cater to plastic – free preferences. Will definitely eat there again!Vegetarian options: And vegan options too!“
“My wife and I ordered take out. She's a foodie and harsh critic but had nothing but glowing reviews for the dishes we ordered. We usually get pho from a few other spots on Aurora but we're going to stick to this place for the time being. Very impressed! Pairs well with Rainier “
“Overall Thoughts: This takeout only spot in Seattle’s Little Saigon is small but quite chaotic with workers buzzing around you and a busy line usually forming around lunch. For $6, the banh mis are very solid and hit the spot; the bread is fresh and flakey. They also have a large selection of packaged foods and hot lunch boxes, which all looked delicious. The service is quick and efficient with no frills. They accept both card and cash.Food I tried:- Roasted pork belly banh mi (4.5/5): The pork belly was really fatty, but flavorful and delicious. The ratios of bread to pork to veggies were good.- Three kinds of ham banh mi (4.4/5): The pate was creamy and the cold cuts were tasty; this is a classic that you can’t go wrong with.- Banh cuon - prepackaged (4.4/5): Tasted good; its soft and delicate texture paired nicely with the crispy shallot toppings and delicious sauce.—Price (relative to peers): 4.6/5Food: 4.4/5Ambience: N/AService: 4.5/5Overall Value: 4.5/5“
“Nice pho spot in Shoreline WashingtonThe combination is delicious and reasonably pricedThey also give you a lot of bean sprouts to add into your soupThe spring rolls are also very crispy and well-madeService here is fastThis place has a small parking lot on the side for convenience“
“Lee and her team are fantastic. The bahn mi sandwiches are delicious. They catered a pta fundraiser party for a local sps school parent community. She was easy to work with, flexible, offered helpful suggestions, and reasonably priced. Would use them again and highly recommend!“
“Utterly incredible dining experience! The dishes are bursting with freshness and flavor. Consider your tastebuds tantalized!? The staff work hard to attend to every minor detail, even without request.The green papaya salad was light & refreshing—I would highly recommend it! ?“
“Places like this are genius. You order at a kiosk so it's perfect for introverts. The food is absolutely delicious. Their pho broth is scrumptious. Their pho tater tots and egg rolls are also yummy. I haven't figured out the beer situation there. It's apparently self-serve. This is place is also great to watch a game as they have HUGE TV's. Great for pre or post game eats.“
“As a Vietnamese, I can be picky and have high expectations with Viet food. Because The Boat has a very simple menu, they delivered - in speed and quality. The chicken was crispy and moist, the mì trộn noodles was well seasoned, the soup was yummy. We also got the pandan waffle and that was quite nostalgic. Highly recommend!“

“Only Pho place I got to . Have been going here for a decade . I've tried other pho only to waste my time and money with dish water broth n booty sweat. No this place is different and will always have excellent food . Crips clean and rich favor.“
“It’s not much from the outside (to understate it a but) and half the interior is a pool hall (as the name implies), but the food is very tasty and well presented. They have a diverse menu, with lots of specialties beyond the pho found all over Seattle. Definitely worth going back to.“
“This was my first time eating here and the Pho was excellent. Was also my 1st time eating shrimp Pho and it was delicious. Everything was fresh and the broth some of the best I've ever had. The lemonade had a unique flavor also and is a hidden gem on the menu. I'll be back soon for sure.“
“Finally a place that serves more unique Vietnamese dishes beyond the more commonly known pho, rice noodle bowls and fresh rolls! Love that I can get Bun cha Ha Noi, Bahn Beo and Banh Cuon! Atmosphere is simple and I wouldn’t give the service 5 stars, but I didn’t go there expecting perfection in these areas. I went for the food, and it is solid! Definitely a place to come if you’re wanting to try some new Vietnamese dishes you can’t find elsewhere.“
“The sandwich was very good, crispy bread, saucy, and nice flavors. The ordering kiosk was not great as the 2 sandwiches were same and could not be individually customized. The dinning room is a quick eat and run kind of set up no real atmosphere. Service was quick.“
“Ordered beef teriyaki with a side of gyoza because I was stuck on mercer island for a few hours but pho is obviously their specialty. The rice and gyoza were good but the beef abd sauce were sub par imo compared to dedicated teriyaki places. It wasn’t bad but definitely different if you're looking to satisfy a teriyaki craving this is only about 75% there.“
“Awesome plant based, vegetarian, vegan options amongst a menu loaded with delicious meat based "standard" fare. Pretty amazing cocktail menu as well. Attended a 12 person family dinner on a Sat night as the only vegan- everyone went home well fed and happy.Vegetarian options: For appetizer and main entree, I had at least 2 options to choose from as a vegan. Banh mi sandwiches, tofu noodles, kale & quinoa salad are some examples. I was satisfied with the number of options, their presentation, and most importantly, their taste.“
“I used to frequent this place often for their vegetarian food. Recently, I revisited and discovered that it's been under new management for the past four years. They've remodeled the interior and made some improvements. The place looks much nicer than before, and they have an entirely new menu. The staff were friendly but a bit slow. The food is still pretty good, although the prices have increased significantly. They now offer longer hours than before. Overall, it remains a great spot for Vietnamese vegetarian cuisine.“
“Sweet operation with a friendly staff. The food was fresh, flavorful, and fast! I had the tofu banh mi. YUM! The ratio of bread to filling was great. The bread was slightly crispy on the outside, warm and delicious. The sauce and veggies along with the tofu made for a crave-able meal. I’ll definitely be back!It is in the Uwijamaya food court so atmosphere isn’t ideal. Get it to-go and find a scenic spot in the city to enjoy it.“
“Bun thit nuong - individually, the components were good, but overall it was way too dry. It really needed some do chua (pickled carrot and daikon) to balance out the flavors, and/or more nuoc cham.Pho tai nam - very flavorful broth, good!Interior / ambiance is absolutely stunning. Very cozy and upscale. Good service!“
“Everything was great! Ten out of ten! Friendly and thoughtful staff, food tasted delicious and the atmosphere was great! We needed to decompress from a long morning of walking and activities, and they gave us a space to do just that. So grateful! Will come here again!“
“I absolutely love this place. The service is always so friendly and cheerful, the orders are made quickly, and above all I don't think you can beat their prices. We always get the pork banh-mi sandwiches which are to die for and I think they might be the cheapest ones I've found in Seattle that are still good and have a lot of free ingredients.“

“Some of the best Vietnamese cuisine you will find in the greater Seattle area. Everything I've tried here has been truly exceptional. Some of my favorites are the fried catfish, beef and morning glory salad, baby clams with rice cracker, grilled lemongrass goat, and coconut steamed spotted prawns.10 out of 10 recommend!“
“First time back in years and it's every bit as wonderful as I remember. First came when it opened a long time ago and fell in love. Used to come multiple times a week after soccer and there's nothing better to replenish. They haven't hiked prices anywhere close to what they could have and i was amazed to see how cheap it for the quality in 2024. Go here you won't regret it.“
“This is a wonderful place to grab banh mi and coffee in Fremont. My daughter had the bun and I had a dark soy sauce tofu banh mi and everything was perfect. We also had a mango smoothie that was so thick it almost didn't fit through the straw and one of the most delicious and lovingly made double espressos I've ever had. Too bad I didn't take pictures but I was so hungry I forgot.Vegetarian options: Delicious tofu banh mi options.“
“Wow, really tasty food. Had 2 Bahn mi's - tofu and pork. Both loaded with fillings, they definitely didn't skimp. Also tried the fresh rolls/summer rolls, and the peanut sauce is fantastic! Parking was easy, ordering was easy, food came super fast, prices were cheap, all around a totally satisfying experience and this will be a future stop for sure. The owner did make it Crystal Clear that starting on 3/1/24, their prices are going to increase by a dollar, I think is amount he said.“
“I wish I could give Pho Viet Anh more than five stars. It is a fantastic place for a quick snack before a Seattle Kraken game. The best part is that Pho Viet Anh is a quick walk to the Climate Pledge Arena, less than a 10-minute walk. Everything we got was delicious and filling. The pork and shrimp salad roll was outstanding, a great start to the meal, and the icing on the cake was the King Special noodle soup. The next time we are in Seattle, we will make a return and try the other items they offer.“
“Boyfriend took me here. He absolutely loves Vietnamese food (he has spent some time there). I had a sandwich that was chock full of veggies and had so many layered tasted I was so pleasantly delighted. Very fresh ingredients and well made. Looking forward to coming back.“
“Vegetarian Pho is excellent. Flavorful broth, lots of veggies and tofu.Tofu spring rolls some of the best we've had. Fresh, great flavor and texture (with a little crunch inside). Peanut sauce good, not too sweet like some others.Vegetarian options: Excellent Vegetarian Pho and Spring rolls. Bun (noodle salad) is great also“
